It was recently announced that Shield star Michael Chiklis has joined the cast of FX's American Horror Story: Freak Show. The news comes from THR who says that the fourth season of the FX horror anthology will be set in "Jupiter, Fla., in 1950 and will again star Jessica Lange. This time, the Emmy winner will portray a German ex-Pat managing one of the last remaining freak shows in the country."

Returning members of the series cast include Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Frances Conroy, and Kathy Bates. Denis O'Hare and Emma Roberts are also in talks to return. They will play performers that Lange's character has rescued.

It was also revealed that Chiklis will be playing the father to Peters' character and the ex-husband of Bates' character.
